Assembled Tool-Storing Frame

ABSTRACT

An assembled tool-storing frame, including a frame and multi setting members, the arranged setting members are pivotally mounted in the frame for inserting one end of a tool, and the setting member is engaged by the frame, so that the setting member is positioned to the tool and cannot be took down from the tool directly. The setting member can be changed when damaged, which is not only can prolong the life of the product, but also can storing more tools according to the requirement.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a tool-storing frame, and moreparticularly to an assembled tool-storing frame.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Many tools are used for assembling or checking products, such aswrenches, screwdrivers, cutting pliers, and so on. Since the tools areeasier to lose, operators are usually using a tool container to storethe tools. However, there are different kinds of tools, and many of thetools are cooperated with the whole group of tools at the beginning.

Now there are two kinds of tool containers for storing the tools: firstis an opposite engaging structures that are integrally formed in thetool container that can be bended after being pressed, the sides of thetool are positioned by the opposite engaging structure, thus positioningthe tool in the tool container stably. And the other is the technique ofprojecting and molding, making use of a groove that same as the tool'sshape is defined in the tool container for engaging the tool.

However, the above-mentioned tool containers are able to position thetools, the disadvantages are describes as follows:

Since the engaging structure can be bended after being pressed, after along period of bending, the engaging structure will be abraded or evenruptured, so that it will not be able to clip the tools. And the toolcontainer that defined with groove is high cost, and the tool cannot bemoved freely when engaged in the groove, which is inconvenient.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate theafore-described disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide anassembled tool-storing frame, and a setting member is mounted in theframe with assembly methods that can be changed when damaged, which isnot only can prolong the life of the product but also can store moretools according to the requirement.

The assembled tool-storing frame, including a frame and multi settingmembers, the arranged setting members are pivotally mounted in the framefor inserting one end of a tool to show and store, and the settingmember is engaged by the frame, so that the setting member is positionedto the tool and cannot be took out from the tool directly.

The present invention will become more obvious from the followingdescription when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodimentsin accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an assembled tool-storing frame inaccordance with the present invention comprises a frame 10 and sevensetting members 20, wherein:

The frame 10, defined with seven retaining grooves 11 that are arrangedto be adjoined to each other (hereby take seven retaining grooves 11 forexample), one end of the respective retaining groove 11 is an openingend 111, and the other end is a closing end 112, in the opposite groovewalls of the retaining groove 11 and near the opening end 111 is formeda circular protruded block 113, and in the groove wall of the adjoinedretaining groove 11 and near the closing end 112 is formed an engaginggroove 114 that is perforated the groove wall, and the groove wallsurfaces of the outmost retaining grooves 11 are mounted with aconnecting groove 115 and a perforation 116 respectively. Furthermore, aspringy piece 12 is mounted in one side of the frame 10, and the end ofthe springy piece 12 is disposed with a buckle 121.

The setting member 20 is rectangular, hereby take seven setting members20 for example, one end of the setting member 20 is defined with ahexagon groove 21, the sides of the setting member 20 are disposed witha protruded pole 22 and a protruded post 23 with a connecting hole 231thereof, the adjoined setting members 20 are connected by connecting theprotruded pole 22 to the connecting hole 231, the protruded post 23 isengaged with the engaging groove 114 of the frame 10 so as to pivotallyenter into the retaining groove 11, and a bended springy piece 24 ismounted in the sides of the setting member 20 that abuts against by theprotruded block 113 and towards the groove 21. Furthermore, the outmostsetting members 20 are positioned to the connecting groove 115 and theperforation 116 by the protruded post 23 and the protruded pole 22.

Referring to FIG. 3, since the groove 21 of the setting member 20 isprovided for inserting a tool 31 (the tool 31 is disposed with a workinghead), and the sides of the setting member 20 of the present inventionare disposed with the protruded pole 22 and the protruded post 23 withthe connecting hole 231 thereof, the adjoined setting members 20 areconnected by connecting the protruded pole 22 to the connecting hole231. When the setting members 20 are arranged to the frame 10, one endof more tools 31 can be inserted into the groove 21 of the settingmember 20.

Since the protruded post 23 of the setting member 20 is engaged with theengaging groove 114 of the frame 10, the setting member 20 can bepivotally rotated by a restricted angle opposite to the frame 10, oreven provided for showing the tool.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, when the setting member 20 is engaged withthe retaining groove 11 of the frame 10, the protruded block 113 of theretaining groove 11 will be abutted against the springy piece 24 of thesetting member 20 so as to make the springy piece 24 bended, and the endof the springy piece 24 will be positioned to a groove 32 of the tool31, so that the setting member 20 is positioned to the tool 31 andcannot be took out from the tool 31 directly.

Therefore, the assembled setting member of the present invention isdisposed on the frame 10, it is only needed to change the setting member20 when damaged, thus prolonging the life of the product.

In addition, FIG. 6 is a perspective view of disposing the assembledtool-storing frame to a tool container 41, which includes two bases 42that can be pivotally rotated to be opened, and the sides of the base 42are defined with an engaging rail 43 respectively, thus positioning thesides of the frame 10, so that the frame 10 is located in the toolcontainer 41. When the frame 10 is positioned to the tool container 41,the metal springy piece 12 will be made the frame 10 positioned to thetool container 41 automatically, and when detaching the frame 10,pulling the buckle 121 of the springy piece 12 firstly, and pushing theframe 10 for separating from the engaging rail 43, thereby taking theframe 10 out of the tool container 41. Furthermore, the base 42 isdefined with multi engaging rails 43, the position of the engaging rails43 can be disposed according to the requirement.

It is to be noted that there are seven retaining grooves 11 of theabove-mentioned embodiment, and the setting members 20 as shown in FIG.1 also are seven, also, the numbers of the retaining groove 11 and thesetting members 20 can be five, six or eight according to therequirement.

In addition, the groove 21 of the setting member 20 of theabove-mentioned embodiment is a hexagonal section for connecting thehexagonal tool 31 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and the groove 21 can be acircular section, a tetragonal section or a octagonal section as shownin FIGS. 10-12, which are provided for connecting a circular tool, atetragonal tool or a octagonal tool respectively.

While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance withthe present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the artthat further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope ofthe present invention.
